Long Range Tracking: ‘The House With a Clock In Its Walls’

This week’s report takes a first look at the fall season’s first offering for kids and families, slated to open on September 21.

The House With a Clock In Its Walls
Opening Weekend Range: $20 – 30 million

Jack Black and Cate Blanchett headline this adaptation from director Eli Roth, who makes the transition from R-rated genre films to a more family-friendly project. Early social media growth isn’t quite on par with that of September 2016’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, although that could partly be chalked up to that film having benefited from director Tim Burton’s loyal fan base.

Jack Black will be a particular advantage for House thanks to his strong appeal among families coming off the successful first Goosebumps film and, more recently, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. Direct competition from Smallfoot one week later is notable when considering long-term prospects.
